those dollars will try to educate more primary care physicians and get them into high places of need. so you know there are some $3 billion, $4 billion, $5 billion in the plan, and not including the $11 billion for expanding community health centers which doubles the community health centers over the next five years. >> the other piece that identify heard from both of you is the idea that yes, doctors. absolutely. critically, but also p.a.s, rns, all of the other health care providers. >> this is not a new problem. the so-called cognitive specialties, the ones that don't involve surgical procedures have always been on the shortened of the stick in terms of attractiveness for new graduates, until some measures are put into place to make them as attractive as surgical specialties it will be difficult to resolve. also, i think more can be done with new graduated residents who are seeking to join some very nice lucrative practices perhaps in the first few years of spending more time and doing whatever in the evenings and nights. that's where the problem is most heartfelt. people don't alw

when we look just at the world economy, when women live in nations where they control their reproduction, when they have access to affordable and reasonable birth control, that is the same places where we see women receiving education. it's where we see women not stuck in marriages that have domestic violence. it's where we see women having longer life spans. all of those things are fundamentally connected to the ability to control one's reproductive rights. >> i did a piece on republican women. so you obviously have politicians making a lot of things up. i've spent this week at the rnc and i went around and talked to women why they disagree with this war on women thing. and like you, they don't see reproductive rights -- first of all, they don't see it as reproductive rights. second of all, they don't see it as a war on women. and i thought overall there was this real failure to have structured interconnected thinking, whether or not about reproductive rights or about discrimination against women, vulnerable people, medicare, medicaid, all of these things have to do with women's partici

that invests more in education. and it's a choice between a politician who rewards companies that ship american jobs overseas, or a leader who brings jobs back home. this is the choice before us. and to me, to my generation, and for all the generations to come, our choice is clear. our choice is a man who's always chosen us. a man who already is our president, barack obama. [ cheers and applause ] >> four more years! four more years! four more years! four more years! four more years! >> in the end, the american dream -- the american dream is not a sprint or even a marathon, but a relay. our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation, but each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor. my grandmother never owned a house. she cleaned other people's houses so she could afford the to rent her own. but she saw her daughter become the first in her family to graduate from college. and my mother fought hard for civil rights, so that instead of a mop, i could hold this micropho

don't pay taxes into the federal education system. or for national defense or for a lot of other areas. but that argument could be made but mitt romney again was just so clumsy in the way he tried to make it. >> i get that argument. there are some very thoughtful people including our mutual good friend mayor bloomberg who has a view that everybody should pay something even if it's $100. they should pay something into federal taxes. i'm fine with that. that won't fundamentally change the idea that we do have a tax system in which the wealthy are supposed to pay more, the less wealthy are supposed to pay less and the idea is to keep them off welfare rolls and keep them working. >> can i jump in? i just want to correct one thing that steve said. some of us on the saturday pay more in liquor tax than others. >> harold ford. >> i didn't want to single anybody out. >> my colleague pointed this out. one of the things problematic with romney's message is he's been going around the country saying my tax plan with a 20% reduction for everybody

we need to make education something of national purpose. the idea, i think, has been, well, it's just a problem of kids in poverty, and therefore we don't have to worry about it that much because our kids are doing well. the fact is our kids aren't doing as well as they need to do to be successful. and secondly, when you have two-thirds of your children not college and/or career ready by the time they finish -- or supposed to finish high school and we spend more per student than any country in the world, that is a national problem. that is a societal problem. and it really changes who we are as a nation. so what's going on in chicago is a leading kind of indicator of things to come. we have to change how we educate our kids before it's too late. >> you know, governor bush brings up a great point, mika. we spend more money per pupil than any country on the planet. politicians always talk about we can fix the problem by spending more money. i've got no problem investing in education, spending more money, but not if it's going into a failing s
